About the case

What is the Illinois Biometric Privacy
Act?

The Illinois Biometric Privacy Act governs the use and
collection of biometric identifiers. Under the law, a "biometric
identifier" is a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voice print,
hand print, or face scan.

The law requires that before an employer can collect biometric
identifiers or information, it must:

Inform the person that a biometric identifier is being
collected or stored;

Inform the person in writing of the purpose and length of term
for which the biometric identifier or information is being
collected, stored, and used; and

Obtain a written release from the person whose biometric
information or identifiers are being collected

We believe that many Illinois employers, including employers who
require employees to use fingerprints to clock in and out of work,
are not complying with Illinois law.

If your employer uses your fingerprints, hand scans, or any
other biometric information, we are interested in speaking with
you. You may be entitled to money damages and eligible to file a
class action lawsuit.

Do I have to pay to consult with an
attorney?

We are happy to talk with you about your potential claims free
of charge. If we decide to represent you in a lawsuit, we will
enter into a written contingent fee agreement with you. A
contingent fee agreement means we only get paid if we win, and that
we will receive our fees from the amount paid by the Defendant in
the case.
